RC K9

Honestly, in Ryan Dream World, I've really been debating whether i'd rather have the Stinger GT2 or a Chebby SS. I like both a lot.

I use SPMC

Not gonna lie...that was the first thing that popped into my head. Was scrolling down to say the same thing, but Grant beat me to it.

Hey now, I still have a 1991 Eclipse GSX...

I take your point. But gimme $100k, I'd probably still buy the Kia and use the $40k to play with. But that's just the Appalachian hillbilly in me talking.

Teh sexual.

Kia Stinger GT2. /thread lulz

I'm not unhappy. And honestly, the unhappiness from the looming added debt would outweigh the happiness of having the car right meow. Test driving would only tempt me further to make an unwise decision. I don;t want to fight temptation, I want to flee from it. ha ha.

"It's just money, right?" I have kids and a wife to support, so cars can wait. Falconry takes a lot of my time up anyway which I love. This.

Nah. That was the irresponsible part of me asking. I have very little debt right meow and don't need to add to it. I may revisit the car in a couple years, but I do hate the fact that I want one so bad now. I don't usually get all excited about new cars.

What kind of discount could you offer me, Steve-O? Ha Ha. I hate that I think about this car as much as I do but its really think it would be a nice DD, and I don't usually get excited about new cars. I saw one stock it was running 12.6-12.7. Not shabby at all imo.

I feel you. I figured, but just wanted to check in case maybe a lurker did.

Has anyone here bought a Stinger yet?

Screw. That. Shifter.

I use it during the summer here, and when towing, but outside of that, 87. I haven't noticed any issues with 87 in the cooler months. In the peak of summer though, it will ping and pull timing with 87, so I have to use 93.

$75/mo here with frontier internet only 150/150. I've actually tested it out to 16x/17x. Seems high, but we watch all of our entertainment through the Fire Box, netflix, etc but when I play video games, I do NOT want lag.

Who uses 93? I use 87. Diesel is like $.50-$.60/gal more expensive. So about 25% more per gallon than 87 here. MPG estimate on the diesel shows 18/24. TT V6 shows 16/23. That's nowhere near a 25% increase in mpg.

The diesel sounds nice, but I can't say i'd be sold over the 3.5 eco. I believe the eco sees full boost at 1750rpm the same as the diesel, and I use 87oct in the cooler months and when i'm not towing. I only use 93 when it's hot or I am towing something. So like stated above, I don't know the the slight mpg advantage of the diesel would offset the higher price of diesel enough. Ultimately, the deciding factor for me would probably be longevity. Am I going to have fewer problems to worry about with the Diesel over the Eco. Not sure if it is still a problem, but previously the Eco was plagued with timing chain issues and condensation buildup issues after driving in the rain causing violent misfires. (I experienced that several times and eventually had to replace a catalytic converter because of it). If I knew I was going to have fewer to no issues with the diesel, i'd probably go that route, but outside of that, i'd probably stick with a 3.5L Eco.
